Kristina Hagan, described as a "struggling actress" in the suit, claims that Boreanaz made unwanted advances toward her while offering her a role on his Fox series Bones, reports CNN.

Hagan alleges that the actor said that he had "the ability to make things happen for her" while she was working as an extra on the show in 2009.

The lawsuit suggests that Boreanaz used his "star power to entice women who have a desire to act on Bones by promising or implying that he could get them work on the show and then using their vulnerability to obtain sexual favors from them".

The suit also describes a number of alleged incidents in which the star attempted to grope and kiss Hagan.

According to the suit, Hagan further alleges that Boreanaz sent her a text message with a photo of his genitals attached.

A representative for Boreanaz has called the accusations "totally fabricated and absurd" in a statement.

The suit names 20th Century Fox Television and other production companies involved with the show as defendants.
